TWO Bindura men were arraigned before Bindura magistrate Maria Msika yesterday for allegedly assaulting and unleashing a vicious dog on Maravanyika primary school teacher whom they accused of snatching one of their girlfriends.

Samson Rutsvara (21) and Passmore Mhlanga both from Maravanyika village, Masembura in Bindura pleaded not guilty to the charge and were granted $50 bail each.

Prosecutor Edward Katsvairo told the court that on November 6 stormed Maravanyika primary school in Bindura and grabbed the teacher Joseph Barnabas Mundofa (26) by the collar before accusing him snatching Rutsvara's girlfriend only identified as Tino.

The furious suspects unleashed their vicious dog on the teacher, struck him on the head with a stool and assaulted him with open hands.

The teacher sustained injures all over the body and rushed to file a police report before visiting the hospital where he was treated and discharged.
